Dilek Nakiboglu helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and trauma. She also supports people experiencing low self-esteem, depression, grief, addiction concerns, and intimacy-related issues. Dilek works with a wide range of life challenges including parenting strain, career crossroads, sleep and eating problems, ADHD and coping with major life changes.

Dilek describes the way people connect with others as central to how they understand themselves. She pays attention to patterns in relationships and boundaries, and helps people notice how old habits may no longer serve them.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on what has helped in the past and what might be changed to move forward. Her style is humanistic and client-centred. That means she aims to offer empathy, respect and a non-judgemental space.

Sessions are collaborative - the person sets goals and Dilek supports them to explore identity, values and choices. Dilek has a Master of Science in Psychology from the University of East London and a BTEC Level 5 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Initial sessions cover personal history, relationships, work and wellbeing to build a shared plan. People may opt for short-term work of around six to twelve weeks or continue for longer to address deeper issues. Frequency is usually at least once a week but is agreed with each person.

Approaches to relationships and online therapy

Dilek uses attachment-based approaches to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps when people struggle with trust, boundaries or repeated relationship difficulties. Client-centred work underpins sessions by focusing on empathy and the person’s own goals, which helps people feel heard and decide what matters most to them.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dilek will discuss options and tailor the way she works to each person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process means methods can shift over time as people try things and reflect on what helps.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people read non-verbal cues and have richer conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, travel or family life.
